Iwakuni Domain

The Iwakuni Domain was a feudal domain of the Tokugawa Shoguante.

History
The Iwakuni were ruled by the Kikkawa clan and were based in Yamaguchi Province in Chugoku, having been enfeoffed there by Ieyasu Tokugawa after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Their leader Kikkawa Tsunemoto was loyal to the Tokugawa shoguns in the 1800s, and remained loyal to the shogunate in the Boshin War. In 1864 they were taken over by the Choshu Domain.
